Now that we have seen and applied Newton’sLaws (at least a few times), let’s introduce acouple of new forces.

Uniform Circular Motion: the “speed” of theobject does not change, but the object isaccelerating throughout the motion.
|v |= constant
v ≠ constant

Tangential acceleration
For an object moving in acircle, the instantaneousvelocity vectors are alwaystangent to the circle ofmotion!

Uniform Circular Motion: the “speed” of theobject does not change, but the object isaccelerating throughout the motion.
Although our objects movesin a circle at constant speed,it still accelerates.
WH
Y?
Recall that acceleration and velocity areboth vector quantities. Since accelerationis a change in velocity over a change intime, an object with a velocity thatchanges direction is accelerating!
Centripetal acceleration

By geometry, this angleis the same as that onthe last slide betweenthe position vectors!
Now, we’ve got two similar, isosceles triangles.

For an object moving in acircle with a constant speed,we can define a periodassociated with the motion.
The period of therotation is simplythe time requiredfor the object to goaround the circleexactly one time.
Td r= =|v| |v|

T = 2πr
|v |
[T ] = [2πr]
[|v |]
[T ] = m
m/s= sThat’s good. We knew
period had to haveunits of time.

A ball of mass m on theend of a string is movingin a circle. We know thatthe ball is experiencingan acceleration.
Newton’s 2nd Law tells us that in order for anobject to experience an acceleration, a netexternal force must be acting.

An automobile with mass 1500-kg moves at aconstant speed over the crest of a hill. Thedriver moves in a vertical circle of radius 28.0 m.At the top of the hill, she notices that the carbarely maintains contact with the road. Find thespeed of the vehicle.

• Block across the floor at constant speed. Why is it not accelerating?
Let’s look at a couple of demosinvolving blocks sliding acrossthe floor. Again, use FBD’s tohelp you understand the motion.
• Block across the floor after push. Why does it stop?
Class Worksheet #2: Block Predictions
What is friction?
A macroscopic (meaning, observable to the eye)force that operates at the interface between twosurfaces in a direction to oppose the slipping ofthose surfaces across one another.
As I push on the red blockwith some force, frictionwith the surface of the blueblock acts to prevent thered block from sliding.

The frictional force at theboundary is described asthe force of static friction,as it relates to the forceobserved on a pair ofobjects that do not sliprelative to one another.
We find that experimentally, the magnitude ofthe maximum force of static friction isproportional to the normal force exerted by theblue block on the red block.

If I push hard enough,the force of static frictionwill be broken and slippingwill occur at the interface.The red block will begin toaccelerate relative to theblue block.
When the red block slips, we note that it stillfeels a frictional force. The magnitude ofthat force, however, has changed.
